It's looking increasingly like Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch due to his opposition to the US-backed proxy war in Ukraine. From Semafor, "The Murdochs' Ukraine connection": The ScoopTucker Carlson floated the prospect that he could be fired by Fox over his anti-war stance on Ukraine during an interview with Redacted host Clayton Morris on March 11 -- seemingly just around the same time as Rupert Murdoch's call. "I'm saying what I really think and I think it really really matters and if I get fired for it, I don't know what to say, I'm not going to change," Carlson said. Carlson told Morris that one of the top people he works for at Fox News had texted him the other day to say, "For the record, I really disagree with you on Ukraine!" "And I wrote back and said, 'I know you do and I'm so grateful that you let me disagree with you in public,'" Carlson said. "This is someone I work for -- a well known person." "Whatever you think of Fox ... they are allowing me to say things that they disagree with and I think that's wonderful," Carlson said.
